Kang: Turn over the baby now.
Kodos: Or we will destroy all your leaders in Washington.
Marge: [knowingly] Oh, you couldn't destroy every politician.
Kang: Just watch us!
From ISW’s Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, April 6, 2024:
Ukrainian soldiers reportedly told the New York Times that Ukrainian forces currently have enough cluster munitions that are effective at repelling Russian infantry assaults but are low on high-explosive artillery shells needed to repel mechanized assaults.
Thank goodness Ukraine still has cluster munitions! I mean, we all know that the collective West has massive shortages of most munitions for a major war, right? Certainly, if the US faced an existential war, we would not hesitate to use cluster munitions in self-defense. So we would never question providing cluster munitions to another democratic country facing an existential war, right? Wrong.
Nearly 50 House Democrats snubbed President Biden by voting for an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Thursday that would have sought to block his move to provide cluster munitions to Ukraine.
The amendment, led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), failed in a House floor vote of 147-276, with support from 49 Democrats and 98 Republicans.
Among the Democrats who backed it were Reps. Ro Khanna (Calif.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Adam Schiff (Calif.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Pramila Jayapal (Wash.), Jamie Raskin (Md.) and Katie Porter (Calif.).
Fortunately, sanity prevailed. Something tells me that no one who voted for this amendment will admit that, had the amendment passed, Ukraine would have found itself in a much more precarious position.
